Sisterhood on Wheels
Tonight instead of having a normal chapter meeting the Chapter Management Team surprised members with a spontaneous sisterhood event. Everyone in the house has been working so hard for the past few weeks helping plan and carry out the Mu Chapter Centennial celebration, hosting our Collegiate Development Consultant from DG Nationals, and beginning to prepare for Greek Week that the sisterhood event was a welcome break.
Members went to Empire Roller Rink for an eighties themed roller skating party. Some girls showed up in pretty funny outfits and everyone had fun attempting to skate (or should I say attempting not to fall too much). Girls even played games from the "old days" of roller skating birthday parties; the limbo and the duck dance were major highlights.

Time to refresh and restart!
So a new semester at Mizzou is well underway and a new group of DGs are in position. Danielle is handing over some of her "official" blogging duties to new girls. Get excited to be updated about DG Mu Chapter happenings by a variety of new voices. A group of us will all be putting our two cents in about the great work chapter members are doing around campus and within the house!
Here is a quick semester update for all of you who don't have a source within DG at all times...
DG 100
Yup that's right, dear old Delta Gee Mu Chapter turned 100 last weekend. The extended Founder's Day celebration started Thursday night with a formal dinner at the chapter house. We were so lucky that CMT members and DG alum were able to hear special guest Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs speak about Mu Chapter's influence on campus and have her as a dinner guest. Members also spent time socializing with Mu Chapter's Lectureship in Values and Ethics speaker Joan Brock. The next night a dinner for collegians and alum preceded Joan Brock's presentation of her life story "More Than Meets The Eye." The following morning alum and collegians dined together once again at a luncheon that included a "through the decades" fashion show of DG apparel and a performance by the Delta Gamma Centennial Choir. After lunch, all alum were invited to the chapter house for a mock recruitment practice and house tours. An alum dinner later that night split all of the event attendees up by decades so each group could spend time together eating a recalling memories. The weekend finished off with a brunch the next morning and House Corporation meeting attended by all the collegians and some alum. Overall it was a fantastic weekend.

RAMS, Rockin' Against Multiple Sclerosis
DG members once again participated in RAMS, a dance/lip-synch and service competition. Last year DG took first place overall and this year we followed up with a strong showing and earned second place overall! Dancers and lip-synchers preformed to a collection of songs from the musical Grease. Our liaisons Allison Dolan (07) and Brittany Schumate (07) did an excellent job organizing the house for all the RAMS activities and our dance director Annalise Lyons (07) created a really fun routine for a huge group of DG performers.
To see a video of the performance watch the video below!

Pinafore
On March 1 our annual party Pinafore was held. Special Events director Brittany Bloom (07) did an amazing job organizing a great night for all the members and their dates. Girls made funny sailor hats for their dates to wear and everyone loved the pinafore baseball-style shirts designed and organized by director of sportswear Kate Pietroburgo (06). Though some of our scores were not too good, everyone enjoyed bowling and spending the night with their sisters and friends.

DGs advocate alcohol responsibility
Once again, the ladies of Mu Chapter participated in Alcohol Responsibility Month and GAMMA (Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol).
The women attended a presentation by Judson Laipply, who also spoke at the DG Convention this past summer in Palm Desert. Listening to him speak is such a treat! He taught us about choices and changes in our lives, all the while making us laugh! Check out his page, and don't forget to watch his 'evolution of dance!'
We also participated in the Alcohol Responsibility Walk at Stankowski Field. The 12 hour walk also featured impromptu kickball and volleyball games, an oversized Jenga and Connect Four game, tricycle rides, and of course, free food! It was a beautiful day and the girls had lots of fun!

Anchor Splash 2008 is coming!
The women of Mu Chapter held their annual Anchor Splash on September 22- September 26. Participating fraternities serenaded the DeeGees on their front lawn. During these serenades, th men prepare skits, songs, and dances to entertain the ladies. Throughout the week, you could find banners hanging in front of frternity houses and Delta Gammas collecting money at our 'most beautiful eyes' tables across campus.
Anchor Splash wrapped up Friday night with the Plunge, a synchronized swimming and relay race competition held at the ARC in Columbia. The fraternity men dressed in costume and danced on the deck before jumping into the pool to form giant anchors and do the DG salute. Themes included cowboys, candy, Grease, and even Hannah Montana- boy are these guys creative! Very special thanks goes to Laura Schneider, our director of Anchor Splash, for planning such a great event!
Wednesday evening, we hosted our annual Lectureship in Values and Ethics featuring Jeff Corwin. Corwin spoke to a sold out audience in Jesse Auditorium about conservation and his time spent with animals in the wild. The women of Delta Gamma were lucky enough to join Corwin at the Upper Crust for a dinner before the presentation, and also afterwards for a dessert reception at the chapter house. Even though Corwin had been up for hours, he took time to talk to every girl, and even stopped to take pictures with everyone.
Corwin was an excellent addition to our long list of great speakers. Special thanks to the lectureship committee (which included Mu chapter members, Amanda Klohmann (07), Danielle Hohmeier (05), Laura Schneider (06), and Chelsea Johnson(05)), MSA, ORG, and all the alumnae who helped make the event possible!

Royal DGs
Can you believe homecoming preparations are already underway? Of course the lovely ladies of Delta Gee have already been pomping the house decs, designing the float, and signing up for the blood drive, but another homecoming honor will soon be decided.
The honor of being Homecoming Royalty means filling out a tough application and going through round after round of interviews. The following women were nominated by their sisters (an honor in itself!) to apply for this honor:
Liz Casanova
Amanda Glennon
Chelsea Johnson
Hillary Overfelt
Libby Preiss
Chelsea and Hillary both went on to first round interviews, and Hillary continued on to the second round. We are so proud of all these women! Thank you for representing DG so well at MU!
Anchor Splash underway!
Monday night, the lovely Dee Gee's were serenaded by men from eight fraternities.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the women will be all across campus collecting money for our philanthropy through the 'Most Beautiful Eyes' contest. Each fraternity on campus has a cup with eyes on it and people drop money into the cup who they think has the most beautiful eyes. The fraternity with the most money earns points towards their total Anchor Splash score.
There is also a banner competition, merchandise sales, and the king candidate interviews to add into the fraternities overall score. The BIG event- the PLUNGE- will be held Friday at the ARC in Columbia, Mo.
This just in!
We are about to SELL OUT Jesse Auditorium for Wednesday's Lectureship featuring Jeff Corwin! If you don't have tickets yet, you better run to get one before they are gone!
You don't want to miss this!

Anchor Splash 2008 is coming!
It has been a very busy fall semester for the Mu Chapter DG's- hitting the books, preparing for first round exams, cheering on our football team to three straight wins (Go Tigers!), and getting ready for Homecoming 2008!
Each fall, the women of Mu chapter of Delta Gamma at the University of Missouri hold their annual philanthropy, Anchor Splash, to benefit Service for Sight. The event consists of clothing sales, serenades, a Most Beautiful Eyes fundraiser, and it all culminates with The Plunge- a synchronized swimming competition. The week also includes the annual Delta Gamma Foundation Lectureship on Values and Ethics. Since 1998, the Lectureship has brought notable speakers to the campus to discuss the University’s four values- Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, and Excellence.
This year’s Anchor Splash starts Monday, September 22, 2008, and ends with The Plunge on Friday, September 26, 2008. The Lectureship will bring Animal Planet star, Jeff Corwin, to campus on Wednesday, September 24, 2008. The women of Mu Chapter invite you to join us for these events!
Last year, fourteen fraternities and one sorority participated in Anchor Splash, and we were able to bring Christopher Gardner, author of Pursuit of Happyness, to campus. Between Anchor Splash, Lectureship, and donations from the chapter, we were able to send over $15 thousand dollars to Service for Sight, which works with various organizations nationwide to support aid to the blind, vision preservation, schools for the visually impaired, and guide dog trainings.
We are so excited about Anchor Splash and Lectureship this year, and would love for ALL of you to join us!
If you are interested in donating, please send donations to Laura Schneider at 1408 Wilson Ave., Apt #1, Columbia MO 65201. Donations are due September 21, 2008.
